featuring Mos Def



(Mr. Man verse)

S.O.S.

breaker breaker 1 9 maydey

surviving off of pennies until my next payday

all I ever wanted was a real nice lady

a clean pair of socks

and some fish for my gravy

but all I get is rice

which will have to suffice

coz I always used to think I didn't need no advice

so I never ever really tried to heed no advice

but in the end we all pay the price

so let's get to the point (point point)

of the whole situation

so many obstacles

so many confronations

but still I'm focused on reaching every station

coz destiny is my destination

I came to make it happen

instead of wasting time I don't got

the time is now

coz I only got one shot

navigating through the schemes

and the intricate plots

coz you and I is all we got

lets make it happen

(Lee Majors verse)

why

why is the world round

why do the suckas bite

why do the freaks come out at night

why they paint Jesus white

I sit and wonder why

we breakin hip hop laws

doing videos in houses that we know aint yours

representing projects

man them shits aint yours (check your lease)

what I release I'll make you shit in your draws



Well then

hear what I say (OK)

your begin for an easy way

well I don't know (well I dont know)

oh yes I don't know



Yo light

let me let these niggas know

its like all I ever wanted was a girl with

respect and a 3rd eye

DKNY aint what makes you fly

lights in my face

government in my pocket

its hard to be a prophet and still make a profit

(Mos Def)

I swing with phat cats to smack tracks over phat raps

it's all of that we tread the BK back road (brooklyn)

'96 about to put it on

hey baby palm

put a quarter upon the needle head

to hold it still while I lace up the verbal threat

now watch me sew shit up

mos def in your spot about to blow shit up

see i've been rhyming since when I was growing up

that's why I say that shit that

make the party open up

like the sky

plus my voice is fly

I roll with dave mase

and wonder why

I rock it from Medina green on to the strong i-i

land on my feet coz im a cool cat

make the kids around my way say

how you do that

be careful what you say coz aint no takebacks

and if you makin' moves

don't fake jacks

perhaps that's the sound when you smack the drum skin

whenever yall want to jump in

man I don't want the landlord kicking my door in

you tired of getting high but you

never know when

and fuck around and get low again

but you can always be certain my friend

how your low tide is always gonna come in

it's like that

so check it on out yall
